Window blind slats always seem to be magnets for dust!

What is your best quick clean tip for de-griming?

I take mine down, lay in the tub, spray with Scrubbing Bubbles, then rinse & hang to dry.

I use a feather duster on mine every week.

When they need a good cleaning, I take them outside sray with a hose and spray with scrubbing bubbles and let set and then rinse with the hose and let dry.

They are total dust magnets! I don't have any in our current home, but we had them on a lot of windows at our old house. I liked they way they looked, but boy oh boy, they could be a pain! Definately dusting them each week was the way to go, because if they got really grotty, they were really hard to clean. If they did need more than a duster, I would use an old cotton tshirt, dampened with some water and just wipe each slat.

I spray them with water and LIGHT soap, and then take an old sock on my hand and rub them clean, it works, its eco friendly, and it takes no time (Thankfully lol!!)
